Course layout is not the greatest. Very tiny greens. A few holes have bad landing zones off of the tee. You basically have to layup or you will be landing in rough because the fairways end.
Amenities aren’t good at all compared to other courses in area.
You drive in and there are course rating signs that seem outdated. They may need an updated review of what’s being advertised.
Overall not worth the drive from city.

1 hole, maybe 2 holes are layup depending on the tees. Where is it suggested that every hole should require a driver off the tee?

The course superintendent. As I have seen every sunrise on the course since early April, and most for the last 20 years, I kind know a little bit about the place. Please check us out on Facebook, Bear Slide Golf Club Grounds Maintenance, to see just how much our small staff does not do to try to improve conditions. You may PM me through the Facebook page and I will be glad to hear from you. I would be glad to discuss how not increasing rates for almost 20 years has affected our staff size, half, and the creative and outside the box decisions to the maintenance program that still allow for some pretty great playing conditions given the challenges. The $72 rate of 2002 should be over $120 today. Not $85.

Sodsquad - you’re a troll. Send me your real name and let’s have a chat. Commenting on everyone’s review. I’d say you have a weird obsession with this course.? Weird man.

If you appreciate the staff at the courses where you play, you would not book the Hot Deal. The courses receive $0 of the Hot Deal Rate. Golf Now gets 100% of the rate.

Bearslide can be hit or miss

The green conditions are a 50/50 shot. This go around, greens were hard as a rock. Had multiple wedges from 100-145 yards out that would land short…bounce 6-7 feet in the air and roll 10-15 feet . A little frustrating.

Checked the records and .6" of rain that week, so they were not that dry. No golf course superintendent doing it right ever waters for golf shots anyway. Watering is done for the needs of the plant. It is the golfers' responsibility to adjust to the variable daily environmental conditions.

Bovine scat. Those greens are never that hard, especially this spring with April being among the wettest ever recorded for central Indiana.

Pretty good for Early April

Found a good deal on GolfNow. Paired up w some others. A couple really slow players a few groups ahead but not the end of the world. Course was pretty good for this time of year. Recently aerated but not too bad at all. Love the course and layout!

Sure hope it wasn't the "Hot Deal" and a 4 star. Courses receive $0 of the Hot Deal rate and Golf Now receives 100%.
